Apply for Dermatology AI Fellowship

The Fellow will support the generation, exchange and communication of scientific information to key customers, academic institutions, health plan medical directors, key dermatologist opinion leaders and other stakeholders through the conduct of independent investigator studies, generating real world evidence, writing and publishing manuscripts/abstracts/posters, representation at medical conferences, presentations of technical information and virtual/in person meetings. This individual will also work with executive leadership to evaluate its spectroscopy technology for pipeline applications for skin cancer and non-skin cancer dermatology applications.

Clinically, this individual will be trained in medicine, and ideally has additional training/experience in the dermatology field, with a working knowledge of the skin lesion assessment and medical referral process for evaluating and managing skin cancer. They are able to clearly and confidently communicate with experienced clinicians and academic researchers, in order to establish a peer-to-peer relationship, build credibility and instill confidence in the company's products and the scientific information it produces. 

A strategic mindset for understanding, communicating and solving the challenges that busy clinicians face with limited time and incomplete information from which to make medical decisions is an important skillset for this role. Experience with reviewing and distilling medical literature and study data into succinct, written explanations and graphical representations in order to rapidly convey key information is important, as is having a seasoned understanding of at least some of the following: the medical device review and approval process, the conduct of clinical research studies, electronic health care data analysis, biomedical statistical methods, AI/ML algorithm development, medical writing, medical education, medical coding and/or health economics.  

An ability to self-start, multitask and to work efficiently and independently in a remote setting on various projects, literature reviews, medical manuscripts, processing and responding to medical information requests, with a sense of urgency are essential aspects of the role. This is a remote role; however, travel to medical meetings, clinical sites, health plan offices, and the company offices on a monthly or quarterly basis can be expected.

This role is envisioned for candidates that have recently completed medical school or residency.
